SITI NURHALIZA WEDS DATUK K....WANG..KWANG..KWANG

I'm part relieved, part mad, that the wedding of this year has been finally formally announced.

Why, from the PR point of view, did they have to go round the merry-ol-bush before deciding to come clean?

Was Siti still awaiting the outcome of her 'istikharah'? Were the glitches of a non-unanimous family vote on the union still being ironed out?

And all those denials!! Sounds a tad like lies now that the truth is out. "Oooh..I didn't know why his family is at my family's place..." "PUHHH..LEASE!"

I would have found it far more respectable, her rights to privacy notwithstanding, that squeaky, clean, Siti had kept congruent to her image and come clean over a matter as MEGA as this!

It would have been a simple, "Yes, we're planning to be united in holy matrimony..it's just that the details have yet to be ironed out."

Rather than all those verbal deflections giving rise to so much controversy such that even her own official fansite had to be suspended until further notice.

All these leave one with a bad after taste..bad after taste.

GOSSIP FERMENTED does not make for juicy details.

Alas, I'm disappointed that her entourage of PR personnel couldn't craft this potentially huge, HUGE C.T. EVENT into something a lil, more harmonious.

OH Siti, my Siti, hope you get to redeem your end soon. And yes, please now don't be a wuz and go all secretive again! Just tell us the gutteral truth about why you fell for him.
